GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
11. FIRM CAPACITY REASSIGNMENT (Cont'd)
A bidder may withdraw its bid for capacity at any time prior
to the close of the bidding period specified in Section
11.4(b), but may only submit a new bid for that released
capacity having a higher economic value. If a person
submits multiple bids, and withdraws one, all bids for the
same released capacity or any portion thereof are considered
withdrawn. Bids for released capacity shall be binding
until written or electronic notice of withdrawal is received
by Southern Star. Bids cannot be withdrawn after the bid
period ends.
If the Releasing Shipper has specified a procedure for
determining the best bid, Southern Star will utilize the
Releasing Shipper's desired procedure; otherwise, Southern
Star will consider only the demand component (restated to
the demand basis if the bid is volumetric) and the term of
bids, in valuing the bids. A volumetric rate may not exceed
the 100% load factor equivalent of the maximum reservation
charge for the applicable firm service. Provided, however,
that beginning July 30, 2008, the maximum rate ceiling
specified in the preceding sentence shall not apply to
capacity release transactions of one year or less. Such
maximum volumetric rates are stated on the applicable Tariff
Sheet 10, 10A, 11. The value of offers will be calculated on
a net present value basis per Dth of firm capacity.
Southern Star will use a discount rate equal to the interest
rate applicable to pipeline refunds pursuant to Section
154.501 of the Commission's regulations or successor
regulation to evaluate all bids. If multiple bids meeting
minimum conditions have been submitted, bids will be
awarded, best bid first, until all offered capacity is
awarded.
